Ingredients
  

  • (320g) 2 ½ cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  •  (12g) 2 tbsp Psyllium husk powder
  • (1 packet) 2 ¼ tsp Active dry yeast
  • (12g) 1 tbsp Sugar
  • (300ml) 1 ¼ cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 3 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • (60ml) ¼ cup Olive oil or melted butter
  • (5ml) 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
  • (5g) 1 tsp Salt

Equipment

  • Loaf pan (8.5 x 4.5 inches)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Stand mixer or hand mixer (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, psyllium husk, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs, oil, and apple cider vinegar.
  4. Pour the yeast mixture and wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  5. Mix with a spatula or stand mixer until a thick, sticky dough forms (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes (until nearly doubled).
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  8. Transfer dough to the loaf pan, smoothing the top with wet hands.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  10. Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Flour Tip: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend (like Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthur) for best results.
  • No Psyllium Husk? Substitute with ground flaxseed, but texture may vary.
  • Egg-Free Option: Replace eggs with flax eggs (3 tbsp ground flax + 9 tbsp water).
